Patent GB-2405230-A (GB)
Title: Digital data transmitter
Inventor: LEE HENRY
IPC: G04F13/00
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: A digital data transmitter includes a circuit board having at least a power circuit, a universal serial bus (USB) interface circuit, a central processing unit (CPU) and two connectors. The connectors are high-speed transmission USB connectors. To transmit digital data stored in a specific information product to another information product, the two information products are connected to the high-speed transmitter, thereby directly transmitting and storing data via the CPU without requiring computers as media as in conventional transmission means. Being free of restrictions of computer hosts, the digital data transmitter enables a user to quickly transmit and store digital data at all time.

Title: Digital pen with a memory tag reader/writer
Inventor: ADAMS GUY DE WARRENNE BRUCE
IPC: G06F3/0354
Filed: 2004-03-20
Abstract: A digital pen 20 senses and creates a digital record of movement or use made of the pen which is stored in a memory 15, and can be downloaded to a memory tag (22, fig 5) on a page by a reader/writer 21. The reader/writer 21 is at the opposite end of the pen from a convention writing nib and only operates over a short distance (eg. 25 % power transfer at 1.8mm), so that a digital record is only downloaded when the reader/writer 21 is adjacent to the tag. Alternatively a switch on the pen or markings on the page may control when data is transmitted. Feedback of when transmission has been achieved may be by an LED, noise or vibration generator. The data transmitted may include standard data identifying the pen or user. A digital record may contain data from several pages. Movement may be sensed by a camera, and the pen includes a battery 16 and a processor 14. Tag and reader circuitry (fig 3) and suitable tag frequencies are disclosed.

Title: A control loop for an electrically propelled spacecraft
Inventor: MILLIGAN DAVID JOHN
IPC: G05B15/02
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: A control loop is implement on an electrically propelled spacecraft that automatically changes the power utilisation of the electric propulsion system based on a signal proportional to the overall spacecraft power balance, derived from one or more spacecraft power bus(es). This can be implemented as an additional domain 5 in the spacecraft main error amplifier signal. Also described is a software implementation using tuneable hysteresis levels to allow for changeable, safe operational margins. The increased power utilisation of the electric propulsion system is used to affect any operating characteristic of the electric propulsion system(s). Increased power utilisation of the electric propulsion system benefits the mission by increasing thrust and/or specific impulse. Increased thrust results in reduced thrusting times for a given velocity increment. This implies faster transfer times for orbit raising and interplanetary missions. Increased specific impulse implies reduced propellant use, useful to increase range, lifetime, or reduce launch mass.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a manufacturing method of a colour conversion filter that can simplify a manufacturing process and enables high-resolution patterning, as well as an apparatus used for such a method. A manufacturing method and apparatus of a colour conversion filter are characterized by comprising the steps of forming a colour filter layer 2 on a transparent substrate 1; forming a colouring matter layer 3 containing a colour conversion colouring matter and an optical radical generating agent on the transparent substrate and the colour filter layer; exposing the colouring matter layer to colouring matter decomposition light 50 that is applied through the transparent substrate and the colour filter layer and auxiliary ultraviolet light 60 that is applied from the side of the colouring matter layer, and thereby forming a colour conversion layer 4 at a position corresponding to the colour filter layer; and vaporizing the optical radical generating agent by heating it. The manufacturing method is further characterized in that the colour conversion colouring matter is decomposed by light in a wavelength range that is out of a wavelength range of light that the colour filter layer transmits, that the colouring matter decomposition light includes a wavelength component that decomposes the colour conversion colouring matter, and that the colour conversion layer emits, through wavelength profile conversion, light that the colour filter layer transmits.

Title: Method and system for modelling data
Inventor: BOULT GEOFFREY M
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-11-16
Abstract: A method and system for modelling data that provides a constrained design space in which data is modelled is described. In particular, the invention provides for a method and system for modelling data wherein any entity is defined as an object of some particular type within an object table or data store. Entities also include things like databases, relational links between entity objects, as well as link and object types themselves. Relationships between entity objects can then be defined in a separate link database or table, which references entity objects stored within the object database or table with respect to a link type, which is also stored within the object database or table. Representing the data to be modelled within this way leads to the existence of an object hierarchy, which enables a system to define its own definitions. Moreover, since any data will be modelled within the same format, the design space is constrained, and hence it is easy to adapt a database in a format according to the present invention so as to enhance functionality, as well as to use generic software tools between different databases.

Title: Measuring angular position and radial position of a rotor
Inventor: GRANT JOHN WESLEY
IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 2005-10-27
Abstract: A system and method determine the angular position and radial position of a rotating device such as a turbine rotor 20. The rotating device 20 is centred about a centre point 26 and is provided with a slot 24 or protrusion. A sensor 30 (e.g. an eddy current sensor) positioned proximate the rotating device 20 generates a signal S1 indicative of the distance between the outer surface of the rotor 20 and the sensor 30. As the slot 24 passes the sensor it creates a corruption 133 (a gap) in the signal. This irregularity 133 is indicative of rotor angular position and so rotor angular position is determined from the corrupted section 133 of the signal. The corrupted portion of the signal is removed to obtain a non-corrupted signal and the radial position of the rotor (in the form of a radial coordinate of the centre point of the rotating device) is determined based on the non-corrupted signal. Two sensors 30, 32 may be provided and an orbit profile (figure 25) determined based on a first radial coordinate (generated using signal S1 from the first sensor) and a second radial coordinate (generated using a signal S2 from the second sensor).
